In Defense of General Boykin

General: Christian U.S. fighting Islam
Boykin, a top U.S. general in charge of hunting down Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, is under fire from Muslims and others because of published reports he has told evangelical groups that America is in a war with radical Islam, whose god is an "idol."

This is all in spite of the Los Angeles Times which has noted that Boykin has said publically radical Muslims who resort to terrorism are not representative of the Islamic faith. The paper said he has compared Islamic extremists to "hooded Christians" who terrorized blacks, Catholics, Jews and others from beneath the robes of the Ku Klux Klan.

But now CAIR wants Boykin to be reassigned. CAIR, whose leaders are accused of having ties to Hamas and other radical groups, said it is responding to investigative reports by the Times and NBC News that paint Boykin as an "intolerant extremist who believes that Islam is an idolatrous, sacrilegious religion against which we are waging a holy war." Meanwhile, a former CAIR staffer, Randall Todd "Ismail" Royer, was among 11 men indicted in July for conspiring to train on American soil for a "violent jihad." Another CAIR figure, Bassem Khafagi, was arrested in January while serving as the group's director of community relations.

And the vermin liberal Left in this country are supporting CAIR's position. It's a repugnant position, considering the amoral Left was resoundingly SILENT when Crime Minister Mahathir Mohamad of Malaysia publicly villifed Jews and the Jewish nation last week. Did YOU hear any Muslim reproach the racist comments? Did YOU Hear any liberals rebuke the Jew slander?

In defending America, Boykin has almost been killed numerous times, serving in key operations such as the 1980 rescue attempt of U.S. hostages in Iran and in 1993 in Somalia.

History is on Boykin's side.

Heroism is on Boykin's side.

Wake up, America. We are at war.
